Electrical Panel

Who makes the switch/curcuit breakers on the MkII boats?

I have open spaces and want to add a new one or two curcuits.

Do I have to go to Catalina or are they commercially available in the Marine stores?

I upgraded to the new version panels from Seward last summer.  The breaker positions use standard available breakers.  Get them from West or anybody.  You can also get switches with red switch pole.  I used a red one on the AC side for my charger - makes it VERY easy to see that it is on - plus RED means important (to me).  Just use the correct AMP for the job.

I agree with Ron, I just thought that your boat has the newer panel that does not use the "push to reset" breakers.  I am not sure which year they switched to the new types.  That is why I replaced my whole panel, I had multiple BAD breakers and cost to replace was not that much different to put in new panel with all new breakers that are significanly less expensive.  If you use push-in breakers, then Seward is ONLY place.
